See page 64 of the manual for details - http://vm-help.com/Boat/Manuals/Axis_2011manual.pdf
5.5 quarts of Oil
Pennzoil PZ3 filter - I use a WIX filter myself (part #51069)
The oil type mentioned in the manual is Pennzoil Marine 15W40. I use Shell Rotella 15W40.

You can see more details on the specs for the oil if you use something different and you can switch to synthetic after 100 hours.

An oil pump like this one also makes the job much easier - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GU ... helpcom-20.

SMG told me 20w-50 Castrol oil. SMG said they put that in all there boats. So what's the right thing to put in it.

I would use a 15w-40, but if the place you bought it is telling you to go with Castrol go for it. Don't use Synthetic.

I already put the 20w-50 in it today. I wonder if it will hurt to run it. SMG sales the axis boat to.
